The ruling on one who passes the miqat without entering ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A group of pilgrims have resolved, with Allah’s permission, to perform Hajj. They are from the city of Riyadh and have been assigned to work at Jeddah Airport. Some of them intended to perform ifrad, some intended tamattu’, and the others intended qiran. However, they have not entered ihram because there is a long period, approximately one month, between the start of their work at the airport and the Hajj season. What is their position now that they have passed the miqat? Do they all have to offer a sacrificial animal, or only some of them depending on their intention?
The Shaykh : As for those among them who intended tamattu’, the fact is that not entering ihram from the miqat is a mistake. It contradicts the wisdom of the ruling, because it is better for him to enter ihram from the miqat, perform the 'Umrah, and then go to Jeddah. As for the one who intended qiran, or ifrad, it is true that it will be difficult for him to remain in ihram for a full month, but we say that there is no harm in them staying in Jeddah. When the time for Hajj comes, they should go to the miqat they passed and enter ihram from there. For example, let us suppose they are from the people of Riyadh, as he said, I think he said they are from the people of Riyadh, and they passed the miqat of the people of Najd at al-Sayl and went to Jeddah. We say: if you want to enter ihram for Hajj, you must go to al-Sayl and enter ihram from there, so that you enter ihram from the miqat from which you are obligated to enter ihram. If it happens that this is impossible and they are unable to go to the miqat, they may enter ihram from Jeddah, and according to the scholars, they must offer a sacrificial animal that is slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. The one who intended tamattu’ is in the same position as they are, as long as he has not entered ihram up to now. If he wants to enter ihram for 'Umrah, he must go to al-Sayl and enter ihram from there, then perform tawaf, sa’y, shorten his hair, and exit the state of ihram.
